The paper describes a magnetoplasmodynamic accelerator and the laboratory facility based on it that have been developed at the Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics of Moscow State University to simulate the impact of atomic oxygen in the Earth’s upper atmosphere on materials of low-orbit satellites. The simulation methodology for accelerated ground-based testing of spacecraft materials is described in detail. Some results of laboratory research and numerical modelling of polymeric materials destruction by atomic oxygen are presented.
